This documentary film follows members of the native Rapanui community on Easter Island as they battle the globalizing effects of a booming tourism industry. Mama Piru leads recycling efforts and organizes coastline cleanups to reduce trash piling up on the island, but she struggles to get her community to participate. Musicians Mahani and Enrique build a music school to reunite their divided community. They find an alternative construction material - local trash. But, their dream to provide free classes means they struggle to make ends meet. Sergio, the first Rapanui governor and archaeologist, embraces the advantages of development by building new businesses.

With the film in the latter stages of post-production, I was hired to design and run the fundraising campaign to secure finishing funds. I devised a plan to leverage the filmmakers existing personal and professional networks, as well as a far-reaching Facebook video campaign targeting individuals with concerns for the environment, the oceans, and plastic pollution.
